Tomo leaned his cheek against his knuckle as he stared down at the book before him. His family had made it rather clear that the young man needed to take some initiative. Up until now he had coasted on the skills he had trained as a child, as well as the abilities granted him by Haruki and Aitouka. But if he didn't put in some effort to better himself, he would fall behind the younger generation, or worse, his future enemies.
So today he was learning about his Kinjutsu. With paperwork from the hospital, Tomo was able to convince a librarian to grab resources on Chimeras from the protected records section. Unfortunately there was only one book that would provide him any sort of answers. It was very general, but it was a start. Reading through a few known abilities of a Chimera, he finally understood what happened during his battle with Aitouka at the end. He had drained her life energy to sustain his own while they were being electrocuted by his Lightning jutsu. He would have to practice to keep it in check so he didn't accidently suck out the life of an ally...especially Saeko.
Flipping the page, he saw mention of the gift to take in a single ability of a person and use it as his own. That seemed like a rather risky ordeal. But it did mention the theoretically he could in turn seal that ability he stole. That could come in handy if he ever faced another shinobi. He would certainly master this one...somehow. He wasn't sure who he could test it on. It wasn't something that could be done on a dummy, or a normal person even. And it would be rather awkward to approach a fellow comrade and ask if he could suck out their talents. Tomo placed the side of his finger over his mouth as he pondered on this predicament.
